6     DRS-50 TRANS-LINGUAL

INSTALLATION

1. Rack unit installation

Confirm that the rack unit you have purchased is configured

for your AC voltage.  For 220VAC, R79 should have a zero
Ohm resistor (a resistor with one black stripe).  For 120VAC,
R80 and R81 should have zero Ohm resistors.  R79, R80 and
R81 are located along the right edge of the rack unit circuit
board (looking at the back).

The DRS-50 fits into a 3.5 inch rack space (2 standard

rack units).  Mount the front panel rack unit into a rack space
between the cinema processor and amplifiers.  Plug the power
cable into the rack power strip.

2. Remote unit installation

The remote unit should be placed on a table at a

comfortable height for the translator.  If you are using the
provided Fujikon headset, plug the 3.5mm microphone plug
into the jack marked “unbalanced mic”.

3. Wiring

Remote Communication Cable.  A 12 conductor cable is

necessary to connect the remote unit to the rack unit.  Special
insulation is recommended for the microphone wire pair.  A 12
conductor cable with an insulated wire pair is available from
SMART (Part# TXLWIRE, specify footage required).

Check wires for continuity before running cable between

translation booth and projection booth.  Once the cable has
been satisfactorily placed, wire the provided 12 pin Phoenix
connectors to the cables.  Make sure the wiring on each end is
the same.  The suggested wiring diagram with the SMART
cable part is as follows (from left to right looking at the back of
the rack unit at connector TB2):
